Bit the bullet-- started seeds germing last night. Two had cracked when I got home from work this afternoon. I did all 10 seeds (from Nirvana) since these were from what the guy at the store called it an "old" pack. Bit afraid they will all work, and it might be more than I can handle. lol.. Can't complain about free trial seeds though eh?


I don't have my entire closet sorted out yet-- when I do i will post. I plan to start pretty simple. I hope for lots of feedback.

I know now why you folks have journals-- I am so excited I need SOMEONE to tell, but my husband just rolls his eyes, and it's not safe to chat around the watercooler. lol.
Thanks for reading!

welcome. enjoy. keep us posted. good luck.

Ok. So in 48 hours ALL 10 of the "old crap" seeds sprouted. I planted the first five this evening.
Used Jiffy pots and "seed starter" soil. Kept it all pretty loose. Panicked because I didn't know how much water to use. Lol. Hope I did ok. I wasn't this stressed about caring for my real HUMAN BABY. Then again when I was stressed I just called my mom... I guess you are all my mommies now. XOX.

Will plant the second batch tomorrow. Ran into issues this week so I don't really have my cabinet set up yet. I have gone from excited to scared all in 24 hours. I think I had planned in my head to have like 2 females to love. So starting from 10 I feel a bit over my depth. Especially with out my set up totally organized. That'll be my Saturday! Need more lights now-- lol. No worries-- I've got the cash. Sticking with CFLs though.
Besides-- these are my free tester seeds, so what the hell, any bud is good bud. OH, BTW... I have NOTHING to smoke right now. So I am all jittery and anxious and can't just kick back. I don't expect to get anything but what I grow. So I am in a bit of a hurry. I am considering this an experiment and I'll maybe rush a couple of the plants to get some product. We'll see.

Thanks to everyone for stopping in. I was afraid I wouldn't make any friends. I will try to keep things short and interesting. I'm posting (or trying to) my first (boring) set of pics.


Tahoe, nice to hear from you! Especially since I coincidentally spent a few hours last night reading the early posts of your first grow. You reminded me of my buddy (same age and single) he starts project/hobbies out small, gets excited, suddenly decides to "go big". He says since he's single, he's loving not having to answer to anyone else. Ahhh freedom.

Hopefully I'll have everything set up before these little beauties get their heads out.

Happy Friday everyone. Almost time to relax.

wow 10/10 sprouted, nice!

super super job on sprouting them seeds! and thanks for the comments....'preciate that....yea the freedom after some rather difficult times in the last years is a blessing and most enjoyable. I am grateful for the success I have had with my grow....the decision to go with the BloomBox was certainly a good one....I can't imagine how I would be managing these plants in the previous circumstances. good luck...and I'll keep watching....this one is gona be good!

So do I need lights on my pots when nothing is poking up yet? (I think, no, but sometimes my scientific theories have major flaws...so I decided to ask!)
What about watering-- the outside of the jiffy pots are damp-- is that good or bad. The soil is pretty loose too... hmm. I put the seeds with teh tails up the force them to work harder. I guess I better relax eh-- only been a day in soil. Sigh. Hard not to over analyse.
Think I'll throw the rest of the seeds into pots tonight-- then it's done.
Have a great day folks. Sat AM is the final shopping spree and set up day. Hope I make good choices!
GG

If you require a fast yield from seed fimm them once at about 2 weeks old and put them into 12/12 at 3 weeks old.
Or for really fast put them into 12/12 right now,plants will obviously be smaller though but you can compensate for this by fimming your main keeping plants more times and getting more stems before you flower them

Natmoon, what the heck is fimming? Is this Femming one plant for a mother?
